Hello everyone,
I am writing a report for Hoxton Hall, a small youth arts/drama centre
in Shoreditch (which also happens to be one of only two Victorian Music
Halls left in London), as part of an HLF bid. I am trying to set up a
volunteer framework where volunteers are formally or informally involved
in gathering information on Hoxton Hall as part of the heritage project
and was wondering whether any GEM list members had experience of setting
up any similar participartory projects that I could get tips from.
The second part of my question is whether anyone knows of any
accreditation, certification or qualifications that volunteers can work
towards or that are offered by any educational or museum based
institutions for volunteers. It would also be interesting to know
whether GEM members think this kind of accreditation is useful for
volunteers and to what extent.
Please get back to me if you have any suggestions, I really appreciate
any help I can get,
thanks in advance,
Emily Dawson
